The Weeping Tree - Episode 1: Andry Sculthorpe, Palawa, Land and Heritage Coordinator

A deeply moving and engaging portrait of a Vandemonian tree with the ability to survive blizzards, weep alcohol and bring grown men to tears.
Andry Sculthorpe leads a group of pakana rangers and palawa community members as they search for trees with markings made by their ancestors and explore what it means to be connected to and care for Country.

Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. Trees are creatures just like us, trying to survive on this planet , they have been around a long longer then we have that’s why they have long life’s they know how to be in harmony with nature we don’t

Amazing! Thank you for creating this series. Beautiful conservation and relationship to nature messages. Is there any scope for developing resources to support the use of this work in schools?
